Coffee from Honduras, Brazil and Colombia sure sounds great in the morning. The Mambo Café, which is set to open Feb 28 in Pleasantville, just west of Atlantic City, will offer all that plus more. Marins goal is to offer the best coffee and food in his area and also to reduce the caffeine in coffee and make it serve more of a casual drink.
PLEASANTVILLE A love for cooking and the absence of fresh coffee in his morning routine drove Jose Marin to fill a vacant storefront with a new cafe.
I got tired of the pre-made coffee, he said. You need people to see a nice atmosphere.
Marin, an Atlantic City resident who also owns La Cosecha, a supermarket on South Main Street, is part of a small but vital contingent of Hispanic business owners in the Pleasantville area.
According to U.S. Census statistics, the number of Hispanic-owned businesses in Atlantic County increased 17 percent between 2002 and 2007. More recent figures are not yet available.

Regarding the Dehler 38 it is about the same, I mean even more the difference between a basic boat and a really fast one. Anyway that difference in LWL would be very important and the Dehler would be probably faster except on a transat.
For racing I am sure the A35 is much better. If your idea is to race solo or with a short crew the best version is the one with the tiller. With crew, the best is the one with the two wheels. On Archambault they developed for solo sailing a system they call the satellite that is something with a spherical shape and all commands there (lines). That sat. stays on the middle of the cockpit on the floor, near the feet of the tiller man.
Kind of surprise me that you don't see the JPK 38 as an option, if you are considering those two boats. You would not get good results on compensated but would be arriving with the first, specially on offshore races.
For racing and cruising probably regarding price a better solution would be a top Salona 38. You can get an IBC boat (top boat) almost for the price that costs a basic Dehler 38 and a Salona 38 IBC can win at the highest level.
If you plan to race the boat on US one of the things you can explore is the potential interest of the different brands in having a boat racing there. If they are really interested they can make a big discount on the boat.
Another option is to look at the possibility of being a dealer in US for Salona or JPK. I don't think they have one and they may be interested...if you are too
Very good points, as usual, Paulo. I really like the JPK 38FC but price is a problem - 153.000 / $208,000 - so all up cost close to 175.000 / $240,000. That would be a considerable stretch for me. But perhaps with twin rudders and racing keel the A35 would end up costing as much. Of course, that's assuming buying new; I think, like you, I would look for a previously owned model and save some money. The Salona 38 is a nice boat, but again priced new out of my budget (~$238K / 176K). Imagine an IBC version is even more.
My intention is to race and cruise single and doublehanded. Perhaps friends or family might come aboard, but I'm not counting on it, from past experience. But I have close friends in the yacht racing fraternity who would be more than happy to do a DH Transquadra or Bermuda 1-2, etc. I suspect I will barely have resources to do things like that, when the time comes, let alone support a fully crewed racing program.
But, as we've discussed previously, if I only have to think of myself, then suddenly the Pogo 30 looks very nice. In fact, even a Pogo 3 would probably do the trick for my solo racing / cruising dreams. In the past I've let my concerns about what the wife wants influence my boat purchases, and that didn't turn out well. I shouldn't make the same mistake again, if I can help it.
In fact, I'm very eager to see the first Pogo 3 (which I thought was going to be shown at the Paris Nautic this month, but haven't seen any photos or news). That may very well end up being the best option for me. A friend / sailing colleague, here in Long Island Sound, purchased a Pogo 2 (U.S. built) and has been having a great time racing it and day sailing with his family. If I'm smart, I'll take a lesson from him. I've never sailed a Series boat (only Protos) but I've been aboard one of the Spanish-built Zeros and it seemed to have sufficient room for a minimalist like myself.
For now, just trying to survive the snow.
We deal in lead, friend.

Toyota RAV4 Overview
The RAV4 uses an energetic 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a smooth six-speed automatic that combined to return 24-mpg overall in tests of the AWD version. Handling is quite nimble and very secure. Though the ride is firm and well-controlled, it may be too busy for some buyers. Inside the somewhat loud cabin are clear, intuitive controls and some upgraded materials. But a number of cheap details are still apparent. Access is very easy, and the rear seat is roomy. A rear-view camera is standard, and the rear hatch is now top-hinged. A height-adjustable power liftgate is available on top trim lines. An electric version with a 103-mile range is available in some markets. The RAV4 improved to Good in its latest IIHS small-overlap crash test.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Fields of white cotton once stretched as far as the eye could see across the fertile Mississippi Delta, but now many of those acres are flush with green corn stalks.
U.S. cotton production peaked in 2005 and has been sliding since as farmers switch from growing fiber to food. The reasons are many: Corn prices have been strong, and it's more profitable because it takes less labor to produce. Corn's lower production costs also make it a less risky investment than cotton.

[8:30 AM] FileMaker Pro May Be Bringing Support For ActiveX, XML, More To Version 5.0
FileMaker 5.0 betas are making the rounds. A sales exec I know says it'll include ActiveX support, XML support, JDBC Support, CDML support. Apparently, FileMaker has been doing great against MS Access. Funny thing too since FM Pro 5 is using a lot of the MS libraries at its core, I hear.
There have been reports of serious delays in the development of FileMaker Pro 5. With web database deployment still coming into its own, this release will be an important one for the still recently emancipated FileMaker Pro, Inc.
The Mac Observer Spin: FileMaker Pro certainly has been doing well and is in fact the most successful database app next to Microsoft's Access. If these features are in fact being added, it may help FileMaker Pro penetrate the Windows market further, especially the ActiveX support. XML support is also a natural extension for FileMaker Pro. With XML gaining popularity among a large segment of web developers though relatively few web apps support it, it could gain an important foothold within that segment.

Tech Drops First Game of the Season to Troy, 10-3 Conley recorded his third multi-hit game of the season
Feb. 22, 2013 ORLANDO, Fla. - Texas Tech dropped its first game of the 2013 season with a 10-3 loss against Troy on Friday afternoon at Jay Bergman Field in the first day of the UCF Wawa Weekend Classic. The Red Raiders (4-1) held a 2-0 lead after two innings but Troy (5-0) tallied 14 hits in the game and had four players with multi-hit games. Tech starting pitcher Dominic Moreno (1-1) suffered the loss allowing five runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings of work with four strikeouts. Troy starter Will Starling (2-0) went five innings allowing three runs and five hits with four strikeouts and four walks while earning his second win of the season. Junior outfielder Devon Conley gave the Red Raiders an early 2-0 lead with a bases loaded, two-run single up the middle in the first inning. The Trojans got on the board with three runs on three consecutive hits in the third inning to take a 3-2 lead. Troy followed with a solo homer in the fourth, a run in the fifth, three unearned runs in the sixth and with two runs in the eighth. Tech's only other run came in the sixth inning on designated hitter Elliot Richoux' RBI fielder's choice grounder to first base. Conley led Tech at the plate going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI while second baseman Bryant Burleson picked up a base hit for the fifth straight game while also reaching base with two walks. Left fielder Todd Ritchie reached base twice with a single to left field and a walk while center fielder Brett Bell (1-for-5) and catcher Mason Randolph (1-for-3) also had base hits. Texas Tech will continue play at the Wawa Weekend Classic on Saturday with a 5:30 p.m. CT first pitch against host-school UCF at Jay Bergman Field in Orlando.

Whitney Houston's Final Recording Unveiled
Originally posted 05/22/2012 06:20AM
Her movie Sparkle does not open until Aug. 17, but this week brought the debut of Whitney Houston's final song, "Celebrate," a duet from the movie with her costar, Jordin Sparks.
Ryan Seacrest unveiled the pulsating number on his radio show Monday. "Celebrate," which was produced by R. Kelly, will be available on iTunes June 5.
A remake of a 1976 movie that originally starred Lonette McKee and Irene Cara, this new Sparkle, which finished filming last Thanksgiving, also stars Derek Luke, Mike Epps and Cee Lo Green, and chronicles the challenges faced by a group of singing sisters once they hit it big. Houston plays Sparks's mother.
Whitney Houston's Final Movie Trailer, For Sparkle, Revealed
Originally posted 04/02/2012 02:15PM
The movie musical Sparkle, which stars Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston, tells the story of the rise of a Supremes-like group in the '60s. And though it's not due out in theaters until this summer, its trailer was released Monday. (Watch above.)
"Was my life not a cautionary tale for you?" Houston, as the mother of Sparks's character, tells her aspiring singer daughter. The brief film clip reveals that Houston's character had been a vocalist in her day, though she never reached the heights that daughter Sparkle want to achieve.
Houston appears in the trailer both elegantly coiffed and tailored as well as in a bathrobe and curlers – looking focused and together in the former, and hazy and out of it in the latter.
Jordin Sparks Pays Tribute to Her Idol Whitney Houston

The moment she was told her idol Whitney Houston had died, Jordin Sparks broke down, locked herself in her hotel room and "cried non-stop," a source tells PEOPLE.
But the American Idol winner, 22, kept her tears to a minimum on Thursday afternoon while paying tribute to the late singer at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Speaking briefly about shooting the upcoming film Sparkle with Houston, Sparks grinned and told the room, which was packed with Oscar contenders and others who included Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone, Paula Patton, Pam Grier and Kerry Washington: "The first day she got [to the set] she's scolding me, and I'm thinking this is the best day ever. She went from being this unreachable supernova pop star to my costar, friend and someone who was like a mentor to me. It was a gift and an honor to play opposite Whitney Houston in the film."
Whitney Houston's Last Recording Session

Arriving at Mason Sound recording studio in North Hollywood on the evening of Feb. 7, Whitney Houston was all smiles and feeling "really positive," producer Harvey Mason Jr. tells PEOPLE.
"We stood around and joked, listened to music, and we got her this throat coat tea she likes," says Mason, who worked with the singer on her last recording of the up-tempo record "Celebrate," a duet with Jordin Sparks for the soundtrack of the upcoming film Sparkle.
"Then she got in the booth, started her vocal session with a prayer as she always did, and worked for about three to four hours. We ended the session dancing around the control room while she said 'Turn it up! Turn it up!' She was so fun-loving."

FIRST LOOK: Whitney Houston Back on Screen, in Sparkle
Originally posted 01/21/2012 11:00AM
It's been more than 15 years since Whitney Houston starred in a big Hollywood movie – 1996's The Preacher's Wife – and while fans may be rejoicing about her return to the screen in the upcoming Sparkle, the happiest person of all seems to be the pop diva's costar, Jordin Sparks.
"She was so cool and very motherly toward me," says the former American Idol winner, 22, who marks her film debut in the remake of a 1976 movie that originally starred Lonette McKee and Irene Cara. "If I ever looked like I needed something, here she came saying 'Are you okay?' "

Between yesterday and today I had to reboot my device twice due tot the fact that I can make or receive calls, but the audio in and out would fail. Doing a hard reboot fixes this problem but the fact that this happened more then once over the course of 24 hours worries me. Has anyone else had this issue?
I have been having similar problems.
All audio stops playing EXCEPT Xbox Music, that works fine.
All other audio just won't play, including texttapping, alarmsounds and so on.
Have also been in a situaton where all audio except XBox Music was distorted, it was just digital noise coming out.
I called HTC Swedish support and they asked me if I installed any apps and if so, I should try to reset the phe phone to factorysettings...
Actually did that but all audio went dead again last night, not sure how to go on.
Reboot helps but I don't want to do that once or twice a day.
Did you find any solution?

Need For Speed Underground Rivals
Despite 'Need For Speed' focusing more on the player pitting their wits against a gang of street racers with turbo-charged motors, the game will always be compared with 'Ridge Racer' for the PSP. The games were released around the same time (in Europe, at least) and both constitute examples of how racing games work on handheld consoles with a lot of graphical power. Certain other review websites claim that the road and background both become blurred once the player's car reaches over one hundred miles per hour. Despite extensive play of the game, I have not found anything wrong with the graphics and the PSP's portable nature allows the player to feel as if they really are in the cockpit of a turbo-charged, modified motorcar.
The options are varied. You can take your car for a quick spin in a quick race and show all your friends what your wheels are really made of. Or you can enter into circuit races, drag races or time trials. The garage option allows you to make points gained into funds earned and you could literally spend all day buying new parts, tweaking engines and customising the paint job. EA have thrown in a car-themed music player that features some stunning visualisations and a few of the latest releases from rock music's finest.
Yes, this game is more of a variant than a graphical revolution and it certainly doesn't shove the PSP console platform into uncharted territory. It's a version of a title you can already purchase for the PS2 and other consoles. Does it work as a game on a console that has been designed to be played on the go? Yes. With the headphones in, you could be careering down floodlit streets with the engine and the rock music blurring while your Granny takes tea with the vicar in the front room. There are tonnes of cars, levels, engines and cheats to unlock and the more you progress through the game, the more you gain in terms of driving skill and adornments for your car.
The PSP is a portable media device. If you don't like a game, you can easily switch to music, photos of even films for your entertainment. The games have to be multi-layered and intriguing or the player will quickly depart for the distant shores of other forms of media. 'Need For Speed' understands this and combines listening to great music with the thrill of being able to race very powerful cars up and down the streets of cities without attracting the unwanted attention of the local constabulary.
With the PSP's powerful graphics processor, the images in the game look stunning throughout and playing with this gadget really does feel like taking your PS2 with you on the move. Perhaps EA haven't been all that bold and creative with one of their first ventures onto the new portable platform. But do they really need to be? There's a lot to be said for the tried and tested and there's really no excuse for meddling with a formula that has succeeded time after time. If you feel the need for speed, don't dig out that video of 'Top Gun'. It's not really that good a film. Instead, rev the engine and taste the adrenalin of the battle as you burn rubber.

Service Offshoring, Productivity, and Employment: Evidence from the United States

This paper estimates the effects of offshoring on productivity in U.S. manufacturing industries between 1992 and 2000, using instrumental variables estimation to address the potential endogeneity of offshoring. It finds that service offshoring has a significant positive effect on productivity in the US, accounting for around 11 percent of productivity growth during this period. Offshoring material inputs also has a positive effect on productivity, but the magnitude is smaller accounting for approximately 5 percent of productivity growth. There is a small negative effect of less than half a percent on employment when industries are finely disaggregated (450 manufacturing industries). However, this affect disappears at more aggregate industry level of 96 industries indicating that there is sufficient growth in demand in other industries within these broadly defined classifications to offset any negative effects.

Domestic and international media were given a guided bus tour of the ever-shrinking cordoned-off, inner city red zone by Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee.
Although the frustration of some Cantabrians about the time it was taking to turn around the city was "entirely understandable", Mr Brownlee said, attention had turned to the $30 billion rebuild.
Businesses and property owners set to reopen in the CBD, including a high-end apartment hotel and a private training college, today spoke of their excitement at being some of the first to come back to the inner city.
Last year was a time of demolition, while 2013 is the year of the rebuild, Mr Brownlee said.
The minister again highlighted the enormity of the task, while also pointing out what's already been achieved.
Work on key projects included in the central city blueprint released last July was already underway, he said.
The builders of the new convention centre would be selected later this month, with the Crown expected to have secured full ownership of the site by September.
The owners of 47 commercial CBD properties have already agreed to sell to the Crown as the purchase of city land for new developments gathers pace.
Early construction on the Avon River precinct will start in April, while work on a bus interchange is planned to begin early next year.
The rebuild was a "realistic vision", Mr Brownlee said, and Christchurch remained on track to become the "best small city in the world".
Mr Brownlee also announced a new kids competition to help develop a new playground.
Competition packs have been distributed to every Canterbury school and early childhood centre, and schools have already begun registering to take part in the Amazing Place project.
"This is a fantastic way for the next generation to take ownership of a piece of Christchurch's multi-billion dollar redevelopment," Mr Brownlee said.
"The children of greater Christchurch have been through an awful lot, and been exceptionally brave and resilient over the past two years. Having endured so much they deserve a real stake in the new Christchurch - an amazing place they can call their own."

Veit Stoss
Veit Stoss | |
Born | before 1450 Horb am Neckar |
Died | September 20, 1533 Nuremberg |
Resting place
St. Johannis cemetery, Nuremberg |
Known for | Sculpture |
Movement | Late Gothic, Northern Renaissance |
Veit Stoss (also: Veit Stoß; Polish: Wit Stwosz; before 1450 - about 20 September 1533) was a leading German sculptor, mostly in wood, whose career covered the transition between the late Gothic and the Northern Renaissance. His style emphasized pathos and emotion, helped by his virtuoso carving of billowing drapery; it has been called "late Gothic Baroque".[1] He had a large workshop and in addition to his own works there are a number by pupils. He is best known for the altarpiece in St. Mary's Basilica in Kraków, Poland.
Stoss was born at Horb am Neckar before 1450; his exact date of birth is unknown though it may have been in 1447. Nothing about his life is known for certain before 1473 when he moved to Nuremberg in Franconia and married Barbara Hertz. Their eldest son Andreas was born there before 1477, when Stoss moved to Kraków, the royal capital of Poland, where he was commissioned to produce the enormous polychrome wooden Altar of Veit Stoss (Ołtarz Wita Stwosza) at St Mary's Church in Kraków. His son Stanisław was also a sculptor. He lived and worked there for the next twenty years; his name, polonized as Wit Stwosz.[2]
In Kraków[edit]
The altar at in Kraków was not completed until 1489, and was the largest triptych of its time and, like his other large works, required a large workshop including specialized painters and gilders.[3] Other important works from his period in Poland were the tomb of Casimir IV in Wawel Cathedral, the marble tomb of Zbigniew Oleśnicki in Gniezno, and the altar of Saint Stanislaus. The Polish court was more aware of Italian styles than Nuremberg patrons of that time, and some of his Polish work uses Renaissance classical ornament.[4]
During World War II, on the order of Hans Frank – the Governor-General of that region of occupied Poland – the dismantled Altar was shipped to the Third Reich around 1941. It was rediscovered in 1945 in Bavaria, hidden in the basement of the heavily bombed Nuremberg Castle.[5] The High Altar underwent major restoration work in Poland and was put back in its place at the Basilica only ten years later.[2]
In 1496, Stoss returned to Nuremberg with his wife and eight children. He reacquired his citizenship for three gulden and resumed his work there as a sculptor. Between 1500 and 1503 he carved an altar, now lost, for the parish church of Schwaz, Tyrol of the "Assumption of Mary". In 1503, he was arrested for forging the seal and signature of a fraudulent contractor and was sentenced to be branded on both of his cheeks and prohibited from leaving Nuremberg without the explicit permission of the city council.
Despite the prohibition he went to Münnerstadt in 1504, to paint and gild the altarpiece that Tilman Riemenschneider had left in plain wood ten years earlier, presumably according to his contract (unlike Stoss, his workshop did not include painters and guilders). Leaving wood sculpture unpainted was a new taste at the time, and "perhaps the tastes of the city council were somewhat provincial."[6] He also created the altar for Bamberg Cathedral and various other sculptures in Nuremberg, including the Annunciation and Tobias and the Angel. In 1506 he was arrested a second time. Emperor Maximilian wrote a letter of pardon, but it was rejected by the council of the Imperial free city Nuremberg as meddling in its internal affairs. He was able to resettle in Nuremberg from 1506, but was shunned by the council and received few large commissions from that time onwards.[1] In 1512, the Emperor asked Stoss to help with the planning of his tomb monument, which was eventually placed in the Hofkirche, Innsbruck; it seems Stoss's attempts to cast in brass were unsuccessful.
During the period 1515–1520, Veit Stoss received a commission for sculptures by Raffaele Torrigiani, a rich Florentine merchant. In 1516 he made Tobias and the Angel (now in Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg), and a statue of Saint Roch for the Basilica of Santissima Annunziata in Florence. This wooden statue represents the saint in a traditional way: in the garb of a pilgrim, lifting his tunic to demonstrate the plague sore in his thigh. Even Giorgio Vasari, who did not think much of artists north of the Alps, praised it in his Le Vite and called it "a miracle in wood", though misattributing it.[7]
Veit Stoss was buried at St. Johannis cemetery in Nuremberg. His artistic legacy was continued by his son Stanisław.
In popular culture[edit]
Veit Stoss is featured in Judith Weir's opera, The Black Spider. He is one of the singing sculptors in Act 3 Scene 2 inside the Wawel Cathedral. He is shown chiseling at the tomb of King Casimir IV. There is a Polish book (1913) and film (1961) Historia żółtej ciżemki (The story of a yellow crakow) [8] about Veit Stoss in Cracow.

Longer Stronger Nails?
Sort By
I had acrylic nails for a long time and just removed them my nails are so brittle and seem to not grow. what should I do!?!?
thank you! I've tried some of sallys and they don't seem to work but I will have to try essies!
I use olive oil and lemon jus.. 30 sec in the microwave and play with the lemon seeds in the mix.. Its realy good!
Purchase OPI Rejuvinate nail polish. You will see the strength your nails will get. They will look so fake! I've been using for over a year now.
You should try Shellac, I used to bite my nails all the time, but now I don't & they are longer and stronger than ever! It's a gel polish opposed to a lacquer. You should ask a local manicurist about it. Shellac saveeddd my naailllsss!
I have been using Nailtiques Formula2 - you can buy at it CVS. It has done wonders for my nails but it does contain formaldehyde. For a non-toxic detox, I recommend Acquarella Conditioner. xoxo

Tuesday's National League Capsules
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rookie Bryce Harper hit a game-winning single with two outs in the 12th inning to give the Washington Nationals a 7-6 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.
Scott Hairston hit a solo homer in the top of the 12th to give New York a 6-5 lead.
But the Nationals rallied when Michael Morse led off with his second double of the game, and Ian Desmond followed with another double for his third RBI.
Reliever Elvin Ramirez (0-1) walked two batters to load the bases, and a fielder's choice by Xavier Nady left the bases loaded with two outs for Harper, who lined an 0-2 pitch to left field. The ball fell just in front of a diving Vinny Rottino.
The Nationals are alone atop the National League East, a game ahead of Miami — which lost to Atlanta — and 1½ games ahead of the Mets. Ross Detwiler (4-3) came on in the 11th and got the win.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Elian Herrera hit a two-run double off winless Cliff Lee in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies.
Lee (0-3) took a two-hitter into the eighth and was a strike away from getting out of trouble before Herrera hit a 2-2 pitch off the left-field wall to put the Dodgers ahead.
Chad Billingsley (3-4) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. Josh Lindblom worked the eighth and Kenley Jansen finished for his eighth save in 11 tries.
Lee gave up two runs and six hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking out a season-high 12. His record is no indication of the way he's pitched. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner has a 2.92 ERA, but has been the victim of poor run support.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Dempster earned his first win since last August, throwing seven innings of three-hit ball as the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers.
Coming into Tuesday's game, Dempster (1-3) had gone 18 straight starts without a victory — a streak dating to Aug. 16 of last season. Dempster broke his winless streak in dominant fashion, not allowing a baserunner until Cody Ransom singled to lead off the sixth.
Alfonso Soriano hit a three-run home run, Jeff Baker added a two-run shot and Bryan LaHair hit a solo homer for the Cubs, who snapped an 11-game road losing streak. Chicago's road slide matched a franchise record set in 1954.
MIAMI (AP) — Dan Uggla hit two homers in his first game at Marlins Park, including a tape-measure blow off the home-run sculpture, and Tim Hudson pitched a five-hitter for his 13th career shutout to help the Atlanta Braves beat Miami.
Uggla hit a solo homer in the fourth inning, and he scored a direct hit on the middle of the sculpture with a two-run homer in the ninth estimated at 432 feet. That sent a thud reverberating throughout the ballpark and increased his homer total to 10 this season and 200 for his career.
Uggla also doubled and scored before hitting a two-run single to finish with four hits and five RBIs, both season highs.
Hudson (4-2) struck out three, walked three and allowed only one runner to reach third base. Anibal Sanchez (3-4) took the loss.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Clint Barmes had three hits and drove in three runs, and the Pittsburgh Pirates extended their home-run tear by hitting three more against the Cincinnati Reds.
Neil Walker hit a two-run homer, and Casey McGehee and Alex Presley had solo shots, giving the Pirates seven homers in their last two games.
A.J. Burnett (5-2) gave up three runs and won his fourth straight start, beating the Reds for the second time in a week. Joey Votto singled home a run in the ninth, but Joel Hanrahan came on with two runners aboard and fanned three for his 15th save in 16 chances.
Pittsburgh scored six runs in only three innings off Homer Bailey (4-4), who had won his last three starts.
HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Maxwell hit a two-run homer, Jose Altuve tied a career high with four hits and the Houston Astros got to St. Louis starter Jaime Garcia early before holding on against the Cardinals.
The Astros scored four runs in the first inning and Maxwell's homer in the second stretched their lead to 6-1. Brian Bogusevic added a solo home run in the fourth and Chris Snyder drove in two runs for Houston.
Garcia (3-4) yielded five hits and the six runs tied his season high, set against the Astros earlier this season. The loss drops the left-hander to 0-5 in seven career starts against Houston. He has allowed at least three runs in each of those starts.
Houston starter Lucas Harrell (5-4) allowed eight hits and four runs — three earned — in six innings to improve to 4-0 in five home starts this season.

I agree with the other posters. What a complete moron the "fisherman" was. I wish the officer had a chance to ask him for a fishing license, if indeed one is needed for pier fishing. It would have been great if he needed one and didn't have one. Just curious, if he didn't have a fishing license and needed one, would the firearm have increased his penalty? What a moron. Oh yeah, I already said that. The moron was fishing for a payday. Glad he didn't get one. An embarrassment for all CWL holders, IF he has one since its not needed for "fishing."

So. The officer isn't really happy about all this, and probably goes back to check the statute on this and find out if he can pop Mr Fisherman. Bingo - if they don't find fishing gear, the kid's going down. So that's what the second visit was about.Florida is not a traditional open carry state.
Open Carry is lawful while engaged in, or going directly to and from, lawful Target Shooting, Hunting, Fishing, and Camping expeditions. FL Statutes 790.25(3)(h), (j), and (k)
If this clown wants to go around looking for trouble, he's eventually going to find it.
"It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first."
Often piers are for fishing only--"No Loitering" posted. You can walk out and back but if you cause any trouble the owner can have you cited. May have been a city-owned pier so the police patrol it. Since he seemed to want the first interaction and said he was going fishing but didn't have a pole they initiated the second interaction to look for the pole. I wager if he hadn't had one he would have gotten a ride downtown. IMO, he would have deserved it if he was loitering. We don't need this kind of gun carrier.

The loop hole for open carry here in FL exists when hunting, fishing or camping and/or on the way to or from hunting, fishing or camping.
Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
It's faster to dial 3-5-7 than it is to dial 9-1-1.
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
What an immature goober (referring to the kid who OCd and then went looking for a police officer to taunt on video). Perhaps it would have been different if he had just been going about his business and was being hassled, but it appeared to me he went out with the intention of looking for a confrontation. When you go looking for trouble, you are likely to find it. I didn't really see where they were harrassing him. As a matter of fact, I thought they handled it pretty good considering the kid was being a goober. People like that are the ones who give bad impressions of the rest of us.

Correct. In the first video the goober kid tells him he is going fishing (knowing it is legal while and going to and from) but doesn't have any fishing equipment with him. When the officer asks about that, he indicates it is already at the pier. After being a goober, I'm sure the officer was just checking out his story for validity. The kid obviously set this whole thing up. He probably was fishing and saw the officer up there. Left his fishing stuff there, went home to his parents house and got his firearm and camera, and came back and intentionally parked where the officer would see it hoping to instigate some type of negative encounter. What a moron.

Quantifying subjective assessment of sleep and life-quality in antidepressant-treated depressed patients
Mayers, Andrew G., VanHooff, Johanna C. and Baldwin, David S. (2003) Quantifying subjective assessment of sleep and life-quality in antidepressant-treated depressed patients. Human Psychopharmacology, 18, (1), 21-27. (doi:10.1002/hup.438).
Full text not available from this repository.
This study sought to establish a method of quantifying subjective perceptions of sleep against perceptions of life-quality and mood, using amended versions of the Pittsburgh sleep diary (PghSD) and quality of life of insomniacs (QOLI) questionnaire. Diaries and questionnaires were self-completed in participants' homes. Outpatients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of major depressive disorder were compared with a healthy control group (with no history, or family history, of depression). Poorer sleepers, as determined by the sleep diary, were significantly more likely to report poorer life-quality and mood perceptions on the subsequent questionnaire. Furthermore, the depressed group reported significantly poorer perceptions of sleep quality and poorer perceptions of life-quality and mood than the control group, even though estimates of sleep disturbance were similar. This may indicate that depressed individuals experience more sleep distress than healthy individuals. These results confirm the extent of subjectively reported sleep disruption in depression and demonstrate the merit of combining the amended PghSD and QOLI to quantify sleep perceptions.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Relievers get paid to forget. Amnesia is almost as important to them as a good fastball, but Vinnie Pestano isn't ready to erase the past.
He can't do it because he knows not everything can be washed away without a second thought.
On Friday night, Pestano relieved in the sixth inning for Team USA against Puerto Rico in an elimination game for both teams in the World Baseball Classic. Puerto Rico had a 1-0 lead with two outs and a man on first. Pestano turned it into a 4-0 Puerto Rico lead without registering an out as the United States lost, 4-3, to be eliminated from the WBC.
Pestano wasn't charged with the loss, but he opened the trap door.
"It's going to sting for a little bit," Pestano said Sunday morning. "It won't go away easy. It wasn't a tune-up for the season. It was something I cared deeply about.
"It will probably go down as one of the top three games in my career that I wish I could have back. I just have to use it as a little extra motivation."
Pestano rejoined the Indians on Saturday night in time to take part in a ceremony honoring Kenny Rowe, a longtime minor-league pitching coach for the Indians who died over the winter. The bounce had not returned to Pestano's step, and it was still missing Sunday.
"Thinking I'd show up here Saturday or today all smiles, it's still a little early for that," said Pestano. "It's not a random game in middle of July. These things come around once every four years and being a contributing factor in sending our team home still irks me."
After Saturday's pre-game ceremony, Pestano was about to enter the dugout when manager Terry Francona talked to him and gave him a hug.
"He asked me if I enjoyed the experience and if I had a good time," said Pestano. "He said he was glad to have me back. I said I was glad to be back and I'd be focusing on getting ready for the season in these last two weeks."
Putting a Tribe uniform back on might be the best thing Pestano can do right now, but he won't forget the WBC. He appeared in three games, allowing three earned runs on three hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
"I had a tremendous time with it," he said. "I'd definitely like to be part of it again. . .It was something I was really interested in doing since the end of last season. I wish it ended a little different, but it's a memory I'll always have."
Team USA played all of its games in the United States, but Pestano said he never felt they had home-field advantage.
"I don't know if we had one crowd that was more for us than against us," he said. "Even in Phoenix, our fans were out-numbered.
"That's part of why it was so fun. You felt like you're almost in a hostile environment in Phoenix and Miami. The energy of those games was such a great thing to be a part of. I like loud places. It gets the adrenaline going for me whether they're cheering for me or not.
"I've got to tell you that's the first time I've pitched with horns and whistles going off in the background."
Baseball is supposed to be America's game, but Team USA has failed to reach a WBC final. Pestano says it's a no-win proposition for the red, white and blue.
"Playing for the United States is almost a lose-lose situation," he said. " You're expected to win and there are so many other great baseball-playing countries out there, having USA across your chest doesn't really mean any kind of advantage. If we lose it's kind of a disappointment, if we win that's what we were supposed to.
"But after three times through with the WBC, the country can see how far the game has grown."

I recently threw a bridal shower for my fantastic friend, Sam. Since she's from England, I did a "Wonderland"-themed tea party. For the libation-of-choice, I made this Pimm's Cup-type Sangria. I adore Sangrias. They are simple and give a fun "pizazz" to daytime events.
Pimm's No. 1 is an herbal gin-based liquer. Combined with English hothouse cucumbers (great choice for lack of seeds), lemon, Valencia orange, and sparkling wine, Pimm's makes for a light and refreshing drink.
1 1/2 cups sliced English Cucumbers
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
4 ounces Pimm's No. 1
2 ounces fresh orange juice
1 tablspoon sugar
750ml bottle sparkling wine, chilled
About 3 cups ice cubes (optional)
In a large (at least 2 quart) glass pitcher, combine the cucumber, lemon, and orange slices. Pimm's orange juice, and sugar, and sir until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.

Visionquest with Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, Shaun Reeves, Seth Troxler, and others at the Shelborne Beach Resort March 25
In certain Native American tribes, the vision quest is a rite of passage by which the young undertake a personal journey alone through the wilderness and commune with the natural world, eventually discovering their destiny in dreams and shadows. For electronic music crew Visionquest — Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, Shaun Reeves, and Seth Troxler — that spiritual calling is doubtlessly music. Which is not to say these dudes are initiates in the EDM game. Far from it. They've all been at it for years, and they're all internationally celebrated DJ-producers with hectic transatlantic tour schedules.
But before stardom, as teenagers in their native Detroit, the four friends took a figurative trek into the wilderness as they explored a shared musical vision in the studio. "Our ventures into the void began in Lee's basement [with] these experiments [in] the relationship between music and our collective consciousness," Troxler explains, waxing mystical. "There was a whole bunch of us on the same vibe. So we ended up having this deep concept phase for about four months where we did research into all the old records we really liked. This, in effect, became our research lab for taking the human mind to different places."
Thus, Visionquest became the umbrella name for collaborative production work, underground parties, and — more recently — one of the most heavily buzzed new labels on the scene. But despite their mutual background in house and techno, these cagey record execs plan to push the sonic envelope and defy genre when recruiting artists to the fold. "It's less about classifying and categorizing music [and] more about how we think the music can contribute to broadening perspectives and creating long-lasting material that people will connect to on a deeper level," Troxler says.
And it's hard to doubt that assertion when you hear the lyrical, emotive songcraft of Visionquest's first release, Benoit & Sergio's chart-topping Where the Freaks Have No Name EP. It's definitely not your standard dance-floor fare. Get an earful when the duo joins Crosson, Curtiss, Reeves, and Troxler, along with label newcomers Footprintz and Tale of Us, plus regular studio collaborator Guy Gerber for a special showcase March 25 at the Shelborne.
"We couldn't be more excited about the event in Miami," Troxler enthuses. "It's a real honor to be invited to do a label party, especially since the label is so young. It's easily the best venue to throw a daytime pool party, and it will be the first chance for most people to properly check out the new talent that we've been pushing on the label."
"Our ventures into the void began with experiments in the relationship between music and collective consciousness."

Football Hosts Westminster This Saturday on Homecoming
Frostburg State earned its first first win of the season last Saturday with a 7-3 win over Union (Ky.). After trailing 3-0 late in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats returned a blocked punt 15 yards for the go ahead score with just two minutes left in the contest. The Titans routed Bethany last Saturday on Homecoming, 49-13, for WC's largest margin of victory since 1997.
Frostburg State looks for its third-straight Homecoming win on Saturday. The Bobcats have won four out of their last five HC games, including the last two by a combined 67-9. Last season FSU downed Seton Hill, 45-9 and in 2004, Frostburg State shutout Maryville, 22-0.
Entering this Saturday's game against the Titans, FSU is ranked 32nd in team kickoff returns averaging 22.6 yards per return. The Bobcats also rank 52nd in pass efficiency defense (97.1), 71st in total defense (272.8) and 72nd in scoring defense (16.7).
The Bobcat defense has come alive over the last few weeks, allowing a season low 175 yards of total offense against Union last Saturday. In the last three weeks, the Bobcats have held opponents to 233 yards of offense a game and just 71 yards a contest through the air.
Frostburg State juniors Gabe Ellis and Jim Robertson were named the Atlantic Central Football Conference Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week, respectively, on Monday. Ellis made 11 tackles and had one sack in the win over Union.
He also blocked a punt with 2:03 left in the game that was recovered for the game-winning score. Ellis has now blocked a punt in the fourth quarter in two-straight games. Robertson earned special teams honors after returning the blocked punt 15-yards for the touchdown to lift FSU to the victory.
Freshman Arien Heggs is 63rd among NCAA Division III players averaging 23.5 yards per return while freshman punter Nicholas Payne is 77th with 35.9 yards per punt. Junior running back Shanorm Young is 85th in the country with 77.0 yards rushing per game.
Frostburg State fans can hear all nine football games of the 2006 season on the university's own WFWM at 91.9 on the FM dial or by logging on to www.wfwm.org. Join Jeff Krone and Bernie Wynder as they call another year of exciting Bobcat football action.
The pregame show will start 15 minutes prior to kickoff each week. Long time "Voice of the Bobcats," Jeff Krone, will again handle the play-by-play duties, and former Frostburg State player, Bernard Wynder, will again be alongside, offering analysis of the action on the field.
Redshirt-junior tight end Fred Howze has caught a pass in 18 consecutive games for FSU. During that stretch, he has caught 49 balls for 649 yards and one touchdown. He started the streak in the second to last game of the 2004 season.
Frostburg State travels to Waynesburg for just its second road game of the 2006 season. FSU won last years contest, 17-10 in overtime, but WC holds the all-time series edge, 25-12-1.
Wesley is picked to capture the Atlantic Central Football Conference championship according to the 2006 ACFC Preseason Coaches Poll. The Wolverines earned three first-place votes after coming off a 2005 season where they finished 12-2 and were NCAA semifinalists. SUNY Brockport is second after receiving two first-place votes followed Salisbury in third. Frostburg State was selected fourth and Apprentice was chosen fifth.

(first-place votes in parentheses)
1. Wesley 5 (3)
2. SUNY Brockport 6 (2)
3. Salisbury 10
4. Frostburg State 13
5. Apprentice 16
Frostburg State is coached by Rubin Stevenson(Salisbury '87), who is in his seventh season at the helm of the Bobcat program. Stevenson is 27-38 in his seven seasons and has led FSU to two ACFC championships (2002 & 2003), three Regents Cup titles (2001, 2002 & 2003) – awarded to the annual winner of the FSU-Salisbury game) and two ECAC Southwest Championship game appearances (2002 & 2005). Stevenson was named the ACFC Coach of the Year in 2002 and was ACFC Co-Coach of the Year in 2003.
Jefff Hand (Clarion, '92) is in his second season as head coach of the Westminster football program after suffering a 4-6 mark in his first year at the helm. Prior to WC, he served as the head coach at Waynesburg for four seasons.
In his second season with the Yellow Jackets, Hand led them to their first outright Presidents' Athletic Conference title and NCAA Playoff appearance. The two coaches are no strangers to one another, having faced five times with Hand holding the edge 3-2.
Westminster travels to Frostburg State for the 12th-ever meeting between the two schools. The Titans lost last season's game, 16-13, but hold the all-time series lead, 8-2-1.
WC enters this afternoon with a 2-5 overall record. Last Saturday, the Titans routed Bethany 49-13 on Homecoming. The 36-point margin of victory is the largest win for the Titans since joining NCAA Division III in 2000. The Titans' previous win by 36 points or more was a 55-7 win over Urbana in 1997 when Westminster was a member of the NAIA.
Westminster recorded a season-high 508 yards of total offense while limiting Bethany to just 209, a season low for WC as the Titans were giving up an average of 404.8 yards per game entering the game.
Seven different players scored touchdowns for the Titans. Three of the scores came via the passing game, three were rushing touchdowns, and one was the team's first defensive touchdown of the season.
Freshman Kevin Franz had a solid effort completing 18-of-28 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed six times for 25 yards, including a fourth-quarter touchdown from one yard out.
His favorite target was Jordan Belosh, who hauled in five passes for 74 yards and one touchdown.
Josh Kutzner and Nick McKolosky each ran for 61 yards and one touchdown while Kutzner averaged 10.1 yards per carry.
On the season, Frantz has completed 141-of-201 pass attempts for 1,338 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 191.1 yards per game.
Brett Ziegler leads the Titans with 37 receptions for 338 yards and four touchdowns while McKolosky has carried the ball 71 times for 306 yards and two scores.
The Westminster defense is led by Jordan Blinn with 52 tackles, 34 solo and 36 assisted, with two tackles for loss, one sack and three forced fumbles. Jason Fridley has 32.5 tackles, 21 solo and 23 assisted, with one tackles for loss and half a sack.

One volume with five subjects for classes I to V, and two volumes for classes VI, VII and VIII
For students like Mythili G., the new textbook under the trimester pattern which compiles all relevant chapters from various subjects into two comprehensive volumes, is a welcome relief.
"I come by bus from Kannagi Nagar, and earlier, since the bag was really heavy, even those seated would refuse to hold it. Since there are just two textbooks now and a few notebooks, I carry a smaller bag, and travelling has become much easier," said the student of Chennai High School on V.P. Koil Street in Mylapore.
For many who commute by public transport, travelling has become much lighter this academic year. While students of classes I to V have just one volume with five subjects, students of classes VI, VII and VIII have two volumes — one for languages, i.e., Tamil and English, and another for Maths, Science, and Social Studies.
And that's just one of the many plus points. Rishitha M., a class V student at a city school, said that even though the textbook had all the five subjects, landing at the right page was easy because each section had colour-coded margins with references.
Vibha Dhoka, a class VII student said that she now packed a crayon box in her schoolbag and drew in her free time. Another student, Sharon Y.P, said her mother who kept a tab on her studies had to take a look at just one textbook now.
But there is also a downside to it. both upsides and downsides, Malavika S., a student of class VIII, said, "On the one hand, you don't have to look into the time-table each day and my school bag has become much lighter. But I have to carry an additional book as the language textbook has only English and Tamil, and my second language is Hindi. The spine of the book is not strong enough to hold the pages together, and if you forget to bring that one book, you don't have a textbook for an entire day," she said.
Though accepting of the new system, Sangeetha R., who teaches students of class III, IV and V at a city school, is apprehensive about how her young students will maintain the textbook for a whole term.
"Since there is just one textbook, the students have to use it all day, and in some books, the pages are already showing signs of wear and tear," she said.
She is also anxious about the distribution of the chapters over the trimesters. "Last year we had a total of seven poems and seven prose lessons for class V, and we covered three poems and three lessons in the first term as it is the longest. This year, the first trimester's textbook has only two poems and two lessons, and we are not sure how the rest of the portion will be distributed," she said.
Though teachers say that it is too early to assess the trimester method, where students will be assessed through Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation and will not have to study the year's portions for the annual exam, students seem to have taken a liking to it.
"Forty marks are allotted for project work, slip tests, and activities and the theory paper is for 60 marks, as opposed to the usual 100 marks. This has made learning stress-free, interactive, and creatively challenging," said M. Rajesh, a class VI student.
